Eagle Watch Weekends at Kentucky State Parks



Kentucky State Parks has been conducting eagle watch tours for forty years, and will offer the same popular programs in four state parks this season. The tours take place at four Kentucky resort parks during weekends in January and February on an excursion yacht, barges, pontoon boats, and by van, depending upon the location and tour. They are led by state park naturalists and Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists.

Ticket prices for the tours range from $20 to $55 a person. Most tours last between two and three and one half hours. The weekends also include an evening program on birds of prey.

The parks, phone numbers and dates for the Eagle Watch Weekends are:

* Dale Hollow State Resort Park (800-325-2282): Jan. 15-16; Jan. 22-23; Feb. 5-6.

* Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park (800-325-0146): Jan. 15-17.

* Lake Barkley State Resort Park (800-325-1708): Jan. 29-31.

* Kenlake State Resort Park (800-325-0143): Feb. 5-7.
